Joanne Harris: Damning with Praise
First, congratulations to Eleanor Catton, whose book, The Luminaries, just won the Booker Prize. It’s a terrific book, and deserves praise. But praise can be a double-edged sword. Or in this case, an idiot-stick to rival Mr Punch’s.
First, a few facts about the inherent nature of praise.

Ten rape prevention tips:
1. Don’t put drugs in women’s drinks.
2. When you see a woman walking by herself, leave her alone.
3. If you pull over to help a woman whose car has broken down, remember not to rape her.
4. If you are in an elevator and a woman gets in, don’t rape her.
5. When you encounter a woman who is asleep, the safest course of action is to not rape her.
6. Never creep into a woman’s home through an unlocked door or window, or spring out at her from between parked cars, or rape her.
7. Remember, people go to the laundry room to do their laundry. Do not attempt to molest someone who is alone in a laundry room.
8. Use the Buddy System! If it is inconvenient for you to stop yourself from raping women, ask a trusted friend to accompany you at all times.
9. Carry a rape whistle. If you find that you are about to rape someone, blow the whistle until someone comes to stop you.
10. Don’t forget: Honesty is the best policy. When asking a woman out on a date, don’t pretend that you are interested in her as a person; tell her straight up that you expect to be raping her later. If you don’t communicate your intentions, the woman may take it as a sign that you do not plan to rape her.

Disney Princesses Dressed as Pop Culture Characters for Halloween by Isaiah Stephens
Previously: Disney Princesses Dressed as Their Princes
Whoa… This really confuses my poor brain, but it’s awesome. For some reason the change in costume makes it quite difficult to figure out which princess is which, but once I figured it out, well, it’s even more brilliant. Love it.
Naturally, I geeked out the most over Tiana as Korra, but Snow White as Wonder Woman is EVERYTHING.

I’m just finished this amazing book called Shadow and Bone and all I can think of is how amazing Aneurin Barnard would be as the Darkling. I can’t wait for the movie to come out.
